New Kendrick Lamar diss track dropped. Kinda too long and low energy, but some of the lines are alright once he gets to it. Takes so long to get to naming and shaming his target: Drake.

Phantom of The Paradise. I think it might be kind of a cult hit around the forums, but if you already seen it a while ago its fun to check out again.

so when you say they're not bringing drugs on the plane you don't mean weed then.

celebrities get arrested all the time for carrying weed and guns on planes or driving around LA. they're just arrested, and then they get their stuff back, except the weed.

There's a(n official) recording of Into The Woods with Hannah Waddingham as the witch that's worth tracking down. It's filmed as a stage show, but they set it outside and the characters are all homeless. It's pretty good.

fun fact everyone who flies private is still logged and has their information electronically checked. there are no similar rules for ships which is why nobody flies anywhere with their prostitutes

A couple days ago I got a night off from parenting and proceeded to get high as balls and watch John Wick 4.

Hot take: I think John Wick might actually be supposed to have some sort of mental handicap? He speaks very little, appears to be just barely keeping up with conversation when he does, and all his quips are him saying something like "NOT REALLY" or "YEAH" or "MAYBE NOT" and there's a dramatic music sting as though he had just dropped the most badass line in history. This interpretation of the character did not cross my mind in any of the previous three but it seemed to actually make the most sense for this one??? Maybe it was just the weed I dunno

Maybe this part was also just the weed but I'm not really sure why John Wick went to the Osaka Continental in Act One. Everyone is repeatedly telling him and each other that him showing up is just gonna get them all killed and he's like "I'M SORRY" but doesn't like leave or anything, until the attack happens and everybody else except the owner and the concierge are all dead and the owner's like "ok we've made our point now leave" and Wick is like "NO. I'LL STAY WITH YOU." and the owner is like "John just please loving leave" and Wick is like "OKAY." and then he moves on to act two.

Act Two, aka the part that's in Paris, felt like a video game all the way through but I actually liked that. There's, like, a level at every major Paris landmark, each with its own level design gimmick, and when John Wick defeats all the enemies he moves on to the next one and the Warriors radio DJ lady narrates the cutscene while the level loads. The sequence on the Sacre Coeur steps in particular was pretty badass.

Anyway, in summary, the dialogue was super cheesy, cinematography and fight choreography were both pretty good, the new characters (the Osakans, the Marquis, Mr Nobody, and Caine) were all extremely cool, the whole duel concept in particular was hokey as gently caress but it fit the Marquis' character pretty well and the payoff worked for me. Not high cinema but good spectacle and worked just fine for what I needed it for (weed entertainment)

Just now watched the John Wick 5 trailer for the first time (trump_touching_ear.png) and uh I guess they're just sort of like abandoning continuity or narrative stakes?

like, the entire point of the second half of the fourth movie was "John Wick risks everything to clear his name and finally end the manhunt, and succeeds, but makes the ultimate sacrifice in doing so", and the premise of the fifth movie is apparently "John Wick isn't actually dead and the High Table still wants to kill him," so, like, I guess literally nothing from part 4 mattered??? Caine saved his daughter I guess. Good for him. These movies are basically self-contained sitcom episodes with barely a connection to each other at this point. They basically set up a "gangster of the week" type format in number 4 with the whole "if you kill Marquis they'll just replace him again and again as many times as it takes" idea, then messed it up with the ending of that movie, then I guess just decided to go ahead with it anyway lol

e: nb someone made an AI trailer a couple weeks ago and it was quite convincing lol
